When is sonos going to make its system accessible to multiple users? It would be much easier to explain to my wife why I am spending thousands on a system if she could also play music when I'm not home???? Any timeline on this?

    The sonos app on android does not let me sign in to a speaker that my partner has already set up. Which means that I can not change the EQ settings for listening to podcast because there is too much bass. Honestly, sonos is supposed to be "modern" and "connected" but so far I am not impressed by anything other than design and sound quality. Everything else is a travesty

    Hi ErikZzz,

    You can connect an Android to multiple different Sonos systems. Just start the app, and choose the option to connect to an existing system. If your speakers are on the same network, you can make them all one system instead by factory resetting one system's speakers, then adding the speakers to the other system.

    Ok, all the answers are in one direction - using multible controllers. And this works without many complictions during all the years now We did have our Sonos system.
    The real problems are showing up, when we give access to friends or students or guests and they enter or Sonos system. Then they see and use our music and sometimes I can’t find my playlists anymore, or different playlists are showing up and my service is not able to play music on this list anyway, so it just are a shaddow from people who was loged on to the system.

    With several guests or our students, this can be a mess and really annoying, so had to reset or delete it and start over again.

    The best solution will be, if everybody is just seeing its own music service like Spotify or Apple music and its own playlist. So we can play music for each other - not touching each others playlist. Is this possible to do?
